Hello,

I built a small client/server program to test my IPv6 stuff. Everything is
working as it should if i use it localy (localhost). If I run my server on
a different computer than the client, it doesn't work anymore.
IPv4 is working ok in all cases. There is almost no difference between the
code (only in inet_pton and inet_ntop calls and differend addr structures).

Any clues why this would be happening?

Thanks.

LP,

Are there IPv6 routing between these machines. ? And do you account for
scopes ?

Yes, as ping6 and traceroute6 work fine. Account for scopes? What do you
mean by that? If you mean setting the interface, I tried the following
call before bind():
sin6.sin6_scope_id = if_nametoindex("eth0");
Didn't work though... BTW: I have to set the interface for ping6.

Thanks.
